If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Well basically, the police don't need 3 witnesses phoning them telling them they seen Finnan speeding. They are arresting him as someone was killed. I've very little doubt he'll get off without charge.I think you'll find that he was arrested for a little bit more than that..
Very much hope so. Remember Lee Hughes?
Slight bit different!!!!!! by about 20 pints of alcohol!!!!!!!
Sure the skid marks will show how fast he was going....
If he's charged he remains innocent until proven guilty.

Not really. Killing someone on the roads is still killing someone on the roads. The important question in both cases is whether the driver was responsible.
True, but at this stage, we don't know what Finnan deserves...
I would have thought death by dangerous driving would be pretty much as serious as death by drunken driving...?
"He was bailed pending further inquiries to appear at a police station on Wednesday June 29."
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Just read a article about what happened and discovered Finnan is 29. I could'nt believe that, I thought at most he was 25.

Ya, he went the long way around. Played non-league for a while and then for Notts County for a few years.Just read a article about what happened and discovered Finnan is 29
Even if he is charged and gets off later, he might be dropped from the squad for a while, like Graham Stack. We might not have him for September.
I dont think he will be or should be. If its an accident then he shouldnt be punished. obviously if he is guilty,he deserves everything he gets but lets wait and see till the verdict is delivered.
Blimey, everyoe seems to have missed this most relevant point, was he on his
mobile phone?
Maybe they missed it because you stupidly spelt stupidly stupedly.
This seems to fit the facts better than any other explaination.
Anymore info on this?
Is it a crime to use a mobile phone in a car and if so since when?
I guess it could be deemed dangerous or careless anyway.
Also what is the speed limit in that area? I assume its a built up area.
How do they know he was on a moblie phone?
Did he admit it?
I assume if you do hit someone whilst talking on a phone the first thing you do is to let the other party know.
Also the police will do tests etc.... if there are no skid marks before
he hit the guy then that suggests he was not concentrating.

"Lee Hughes, the West Bromwich Albion forward, was jailed for six years in August last year after being found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving. Hughes fled the scene of a collision near Coventry in November 2003 in which a 56-year-old man was killed."
I assume Hughes was suspected of being drunk at the time?
Cant remember if he was drunk but one of the main things was that he drove off. At least Finnan didnt do that, might come in his favour
No, I know of one other - Patrick Kluivert.

He was just after leaving a party when he knocked down and killed his victim. He was drunk out of his head leaving the party, and got what he deserved.
Finnan's case is very different and could happen to anyone. There is no proof he was on the phone, it's only rumour. I do know that Finnan was inconsolable after the incident and missed training and games for Liverpool at the time because of it.
I don't know if he was using his mobile at the time either but it would help
to explain the dangerous driving aspect of he case, I assume he was
drunk at the time as that is not mentioned, neither is speeding, mind you
neither is a mobile phone. However what is certain is that the police will
be able to check his mobile phone records with the phone company
to see if he was makinig a call at about that time.
The timiing of the accident might not be certain however with the amount
of road cameras about the police will have a very good idea of whether
he was using the phone when he was driving. They will also be able to trace
who he was speaking too and that person would have a very good idea
that something unusul had happened. Indeed if you did have an accident
whilst driving using a phone it is human nature that you would mention it
to the person you were speaking too.
This is all just speculation of course but if is the sort of thing that could
happen to anyone. Thousands of people drive whilst using mobile
phones, it's just unfortunate if someone steps out on to the road at the time.
It is here in the UK (unless you use a hands free kit) and has been for about 2 years.
My other posts are intelligent and witty. This one is an exception.

Of course, how could I forget, living in Amsterdam and following Ajax for 10 years now.
Steve Finnan isn't even the first player to win the Champions League on bail for a motor vehicle accident involving a death.
